Construction Lab Project Using Procore®Abstract:Construction education benefits from establishing a strong relationship with real-world industry practices.One important practice is the knowledge of software used in the industry to simplify the complexconstruction workflow and tasks throughout project execution. Procore® is considered a leadingconstruction software providing a connection between technology and industry trades. The cloud-basedsoftware provides a central repository for the contract documents, e.g. bidding documents, prime contracts,change orders, drawings, and specifications, and enables sharing the project information with all projectparticipants. While it is still needed to provide evidence-based studies measuring the effectiveness
